The boys, whose bromance was the talk of the summer, got help along the way from rap and grime heavyweights Stormzy, Professor Green and Yungen.

The pair performed the song Little Bit Leave It, which they created during their time in the famous villa, and released it on Monday night following the huge success of the show.
